Bar signals town's recovery
By ABBIE NAPIER
THE OPENING of a new restaurant and
bar in Lyttelton is proof the port town-
ship is coming back to life after two har-
rowing years post-quake.
Civil & Naval opened up on London St
to much fanfare.
The bistro-style venue is the brainchild
of manager Louis Dyer --- son of Jeremy
Dyer and Clare Neville-Dyer, who run
the Governor s Bay Hotel.
Louis has gone into partnership with
his parents in his first restaurant ven-
ture. The move comes after years of
experience in the hospitality industry,
here and in Wellington.
Civil & Naval was named after a for-
mer occupant of the London St building --
one J Ludlow, a tailor for Civil and Naval
in the early 1900s.
The feel is comfortable dining with a
touch of European class.
The bar is a welcome addition to the
port town since some of the hospitality
venues were shut down due to earth-
quake damage. As more buildings are
repaired, Lyttelton is fast returning to its
pre-quake liveliness.
Civil & Naval joins Roots Restaurant,
Freeman s Dining Room and Samo cafe.
The new venue is all about bistro din-
ing, with a somewhat French theme run-
ning through both the menu and the
interior design.
A marble bar was rescued from the
Savoy Theatre, cloaking the place in even
more history.
Former head chef at Edesia, Sean
Hendley, is heading up the kitchen.
Call to save cell block
POST-QUAKE: The Lyttelton police
station.
By ANNA PRICE
GOVERNOR S BAY resident
David Bundy is appealing to
Police Minister Anne Tolley to
save the historic Lyttelton cell
block from demolition.
It is not seriously damaged.
The demolition idea had been
almost clandestine, he said.
He has detailed his concerns
to Mrs Tolley.
The attitude seems to be we
are demolishing the police sta-
tion, so we may as well take the
cell block away also .
If it is demolished, it will be a
completely unnecessary loss of
our heritage, and heritage is
what Lyttelton depends on.
No real heritage assessment
had been carried out, he said.
If it had been, it would have
been placed in the proper con-
text of Lyttelton s penal history.
The lock-up received only
minor damage and could be eas-
ily repaired, Mr Bundy said.
The community had had no
input in the police demolition
decision and most local people
were not even aware of it.
Police do intend to salvage
some artefacts to display in the
police museum.
Well, we want the heritage in
Lyttelton for future tourism, to
help our recovery, he said.
The entire old town was a
listed entity for its heritage
values, and the cell block was
part of that area.
The freestanding cell block is
of brick construction, whereas
most lock-ups of the time in New
Zealand were timber.
Heritage advocates say it com-
pares favourably with the brick
cell block of the Mount Cook
Police Station in Wellington,
built in 1894.
The cells still bore witness to
a lot of activity by inmates.
